You Have Heard HER NAMEDo You Really Know HER STORY?

&nbsp People have asked me why I chose to write about Saint Joan of Arc since it seems to some a departure from my normal American based writings.
There is much that I can say about how the lessons learned from Saint Joan's life are very relevant to today's American citizen, but the real reason I wrote about her is ultimately much more personal. I find myself feeling similar to the way a great American writer from the
nineteenth century felt. Mark Twain, after finishing his own biography about Saint Joan of Arc, said that:
"Possibly the book may not sell, but that is nothing-it was written for love"
&nbsp I originally intended to just publish Maid of Heaven at PoliticalPoet.com, but, since it turned out so much better than I ever dreamed possible, I decided a book would be the best way to share it with as many people as possible.
I passionately believe that the history of Joan of Arc is one that everyone should study because the lessons to be learned from Joan's life are truly priceless and life changing.
This website, MaidOfHeaven.com, was created to not only showcase the book it was named after but is also intended to be an
online resource for anyone wanting to learn all about Joan and the amazing story of her life.
Whether you are just starting to learn about Joan or are already a scholar familiar with her history you should find both the book Maid of Heaven and MaidOfHeaven.com to be invaluable resources in your quest to learn all about Joan of Arc.
&nbsp It is my hope that Maid of Heaven will be a blessing to everyone's life in the same way that studying Saint Joan's life has been a great blessing to my own.

Joan of Arc History

Joan of Arc is one of the most remarkable people to ever live and her name is easily recognized by virtually everyone in the world today. Joan's life and history are also the best documented of anyone that has ever lived outside of modern times however most people are not aware of all that this simple young woman from a small town in eastern France accomplished in her life and death. Joan saved her people and united all of France by winning several
important battles at Orleans and Patay in what is now known as the Hundred Years War. Joan completely reversed the course of this war and kept France from becoming a colony of England. Greatly celebrated by her own people she was hated by the English who ultimately captured her and rigged a trial under the auspices of the Church to justify burning her at the stake. Twenty-five years later the illegality of her trial was revealed in another trial
held by the Church that completely exonerated her and declared her a martyr. In 1920 Joan became an official Saint of the same Church that had once called her a heretic and executed her by burning her at the stake. She remains one of the most beloved figures in all of history.
